I am having the same message this morning
I have tried to open several articles and only get the warning.
Is this being corrected? |
Yes, I am receiving the same message. I have XFinity (Comcast)
|
Yes, I have been getting this message also. I have Comcast (Xfinity). I hit proceed anyway. Wish I could get rid of this warning.

I got it a couple times last week and I use Comcast. Doesn’t happen now though.

Advanced Security
That is a new "feature" Comcast has enabled inside your router/modem. It only apparently applies to certain of the modem/routers they deploy and is manufacturer-dependent. I learned the mystery of this after a lot of research. It is annoying, but benign and can be disabled if you feel your security protection is already adequate.
There is apparently some difference between the Xfinity designation and the "xFI" description and/or app but if you log onto your Comcast account and click enough choices you'll eventually bump into one titled "Connect" and that is where you can disable "Advanced Security" Quote:

Zuckerberg has something to do with it

Disable ‘Advanced Security’ on your Comcast or Xfinity app.
I had the same problem and it disappeared when I disabled Advanced Security. It has something to do with the TOTV certificate. Supposedly it doesn’t meet the new higher standards imposed by Comcast/Xfinity. Not a big deal IMHO. |

Notice that your link above is a "secure" url, denoted by the S at the end of https. The other link as listed by the OP is not a secure url. This is not necessarily a problem if you're not on a page/site that is asking for personal info such as for a credit card purchase or banking, etc.. But it could be nefarious in some cases. You should never enter sensitive info on a page where you don't see the padlock symbol followed by https://, in the address bar of your browser. Fred |
Same for me
Just started getting this notice about a week ago when I click on the daily e-mail from TOTV. Don't get it when I type in the same URL as the e-mail link. Not sure why this is happening but I'm sure it's scaring people off the site.

[QUOTE= My ISP is Comcast and the warning comes from them. Anyone else getting this notice?
"This site could be risky Advanced Security blocked access to This site might compromise your device or contain high-risk content. Proceed Anyway"[/QUOTE] Yes, I have Xfinity and this message JUST started recently- it's really annoying! |

I get a similar message occasionally related to the daily TOTV email and don’t worry about it. When I do, I hit the refresh icon in my browser’s URL window and it takes me to the TOTV webpage I want. |
At least with Windows it typically means : a) your internal clock may need to be reset
B) site may not have latest security certificate C) cookies may not be saved or old Good luck . |
